A commercial for Lark Cigarettes which was broadcast during "The Phyllis Diller Show" (aka "The Pruitts of Southampton") in January 1967. Shot in Chicago, Illinois (doubtlessly in 1966), the music is "The William Tell Overture," better known as the theme to "The Lone Ranger," composed by Gioachino Rossini. Apologies for the sucky quality.

Ah, those gaudy, oversexed '70s... and this pair of commercials for The Uncola certainly epitomizes all of the garishness of the decade. These 1975 ads were produced by Robert Abel and Associates, a company which was known for its innovative commercials and pioneering CGI efforts. The first clip was later featured in the 1977 compilation film " Fantastic Animation Festival ."

In 1945, Jack Benny starred in his last major motion picture, "The Horn Blows at Midnight," as a band member who dreams he's an angel sent to destroy the Earth. The film did respectable business but wasn't an overwhelming success (doubtlessly due to the timing, coming at the end of WW2) and Benny soon began joking about what a dismal failure the film was... which quickly became a running gag on his TV and radio shows, leading people to believe the movie actually was an epic bomb.

Head Mouseketeer Jimmie Dodd promotes the Mousegetar (as seen on the show) and a cheaper jack-in-the-box style crank-toy, the Mousegetar Jr., in this 1955 commercial. Can't say for certain, but this probably debuted during episode #30 of "the Mickey Mouse Club" (November 11, 1955) after Dodd was presented with his Mousegetar by the Mouseketeers. The Mousegetar retailed for $4 and the Mousegetar Jr. for $1.80, but today they sell in the triple-digits.

Trucker Eddie (Avery Schreiber) walks into a diner and woos waitress Rosie (Reva Rose) with a bar of Camay soap. I'm not sure if this is late '60s or early '70s. Comedian Schreiber, who lacks his patented mustache, is better known as a Doritos spokesman... and as the resident villain of "My Mother the Car." And though it's uncannily similar, that's not Rosie's Diner from the Bounty Paper Towel commercials. Weird that a soap commercial makes you feel so dirty.
